What the logo means

The "Certified for Windows Server 2012 R2" and "Certified for Windows Server
2012" logos identify hardware and software solutions that meet Microsoft
standards for compatibility and recommended practices with the respective Windows
Server operating systems. Solutions that have earned either of these Certified for
Windows Server logos are also fully supported in Hyper-V environment from the same
release. The certified applications have been tested by Independent Software Vendors
(ISVs) using technical specifications and tools required by Microsoft. ISVs have
independently verified the compatibility of such applications and confirmed support
to customers that deploy the certified applications.

The "Certified for Windows Server® 2008 R2" and "Certified for Windows
Server® 2008" logos identify hardware and software solutions that meet
Microsoft standards for compatibility and recommended practices with the respective
Windows Server operating systems. Solutions that have earned the Certified for Windows
Server 2008 R2 and Certified Windows Server 2008 logos take advantage of top-performing
technologies, such as 64-bit and virtualization. Certified for Windows Server 2008
R2 and Certified for Windows Server 2008 applications have been tested by a third
party test vendor.

"Works with Windows&reg Server 2008 R2" and "Works
with Windows&reg Server 2008" status is for software
solutions that have passed Microsoft's standards for application compatibility on
the platform. ISV test results are independently verified by a third party test
vendor.

The "Supported" qualification level is designed to clarify to customers if
existing Designed for Windows Server 2003 systems will be supported when the system
is upgraded to Windows Server 2008. Microsoft provides the "Supported" qualification
to indicate that a system is compatible with Windows Server 2008, but does not take
full advantage of the Windows Server 2008 operating system's functionality and is
unable to obtain the Certified for Windows Server 2008 logo.

The "Designed for Microsoft&reg Windows&reg
Server 2003" and "Certified for Microsoft&reg Windows&reg Server 2003" logos identify hardware and software
merchandise that meet or exceed certain quality standards of compatibility with
the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. Microsoft offers these logos
to help customers identify merchandise that meet a baseline definition of features
and quality goals and periodically reviews compliance with these standards.
